Kenya: reviews from our travellers

"It was delightful! Richard Trillo, who helped us organize the safari, did an excellent job. In the first place, he listened carefully to what we had in mind and very tactfully, made suggestions how to maximize our time within the constraints of our budget (no mean accomplishment).

He very wisely suggested three stops to give us reasonable exposure to what Kenya has to offer without wearing us down. Our experiences at El Karama, the Mara Camp and ending at Totilis were just what we had in mind.

Then, he coordinated the timing, the pickups, the flights so very well that we were never at a loss as to what comes next and will the taxi actually be there at (e.g.) 5:30 in the morning. Very well done!

"Expert Africa has helped us plan all four of our trips to Africa and we couldn't be happier.

The staff there has such intimate knowledge of the camps that they are able to offer us wonderful advice. They know what we value most and have the background to know how to guide us to places that we will enjoy.

This was a trip that took us to some new regions of Kenya and we enjoyed the variety of environments that we experienced. Thank you, Ellie, for helping us plan another amazing adventure!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari

"Great trip, everything we had hoped for an more. Visiting four seperate lodges helped us gain perspective and insight. Having one road transfer from Sambura to Borana was an added benefit both in terms of our enjoyment and saving some money while avoiding the cost of air transfer for that leg of the trip.

Regarding our transfer from Sambura to Borana, I think the transfer driver was named Nicholas. We hadn't left Sambura for more that two minutes when he started pointing out details about every plant and animal in sight. Our three hour transfer turned into a four hour safari that was filled with details and infomation beyond what anyone else was providing. This guy was the best and most informative guide we met on our entire trip." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Kenya safari

It was such an action-packed safari and we saw so many incredible animal interactions!

Richard was super helpful in understanding our desires and planning the perfect itinerary. Also, the Nairobi guide/driver was great and planned our half day perfectly." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"Many thanks to Richard for putting together such an enjoyable trip, and in particular for the encouragement to consider a camp in the main Reserve as well as the Mara Conservancies.

While the Reserve was obviously busier, the location and quality of the guiding at Rekero were superb and we were really pleased to have included it in the itinerary." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"Just the hotel in Diani beach that was quite a let down and not the honeymoon experience we'd hoped for.

But absolutely everything else was and even better than we had expected." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"I do not typically use travel services, but I will never regret doing so for this. Richard Trillo is an expert on Kenyan travel without peer.

All of his advice proved invaluable and allowed my family to have a holiday that we will never forget. I couldn't be happier with everything.
